Source Selection; Tone Control - T+A P 1260 R Mode D'emploi

Source selection

The amplifier can be used to record from one source
(recording source) while you listen to the same source or
any other source (listening source).

Selecting the listening source
To select one of the signal sources as the listening
source, push the corresponding button briefly.
When the unit is switched off, the amplifier can be
switched on by pushing a source button briefly. At the
same time this action selects the associated source
device for listening.
Notes:
The LEDs above the source buttons indicate which
source you are currently listening to. If an MM or MC
phono module is present, AUX 2 is the phono input.
  Selecting the recording source  
Pressing the   button briefly causes one of the
 
LEDs above the source buttons to light up to indicate the
signal source from which it is currently possible to
record. When you release the button again, the LED for
the current listening source glows.
To switch to a different recording source you must first
hold the   button pressed in, then select your
 
recording source by pressing a source button. The
corresponding LED glows until you release the 
button.
The recording source signal is available at the TAPE
OUT output sockets.
If you wish to monitor the tape recording, select the
recording unit (TAPE) as listening source while the
recording is taking place.
Note:
A recorder cannot record from itself, as this would form a
feedback loop.
Tone control functions
   
The amplifier is equipped with a volume-dependent tone
control (LOUDNESS) circuit, which compensates for the
frequency-dependent sensitivity of the human ear at very
low volume levels, due to the characteristics of aural
physiology.
Pressing the 
on and off.
The red LED above the button glows when LOUDN is
switched on.
   
The FLAT function by-passes the tone control section of
the amplifier and therefore disables the tone controls.
The frequency response is then absolutely linear.
The FLAT mode is switched on and off by pressing the
 button.
  
The red LED above the button glows when FLAT mode
is switched on.
Notes:
In FLAT mode the 
effect.
The LOUDNESS function is also available in FLAT
mode.

*) Note:
If the system includes a  surround decoder, the
P 1260 R / PA 1260 R does not respond when you
press the 
Instead the signal is passed to the decoder, which
carries out the appropriate functions (if present).

In normal use the knobs for tone and balance are
recessed into the front panel. If you press any of the
knobs, it projects from the front panel and can then
easily be rotated. In the centre position the index marker
points up, and you will feel the detent engage.
When the setting is correct, push the knob back into the
front panel, and it will engage in its recessed position
again.
